	12:05pm Bethany Ryker: UNSTORKASTIC HIT PARADE has me laughing hysterically. Bravo @StringOFperils
	12:06pm Mr. Oxford: Hello Bethany! Hello all fellow listeners and ones coming down here from destination:OUT show!
	12:06pm Stork: Bethany!! So great to hear you instead of myself!!
	12:07pm arb: I'm relieved I didn't get the Paul Klee tattoo backpiece that I wanted when I was 18. This homage rules though.
	12:07pm Michael 98145: What have we here ?
	12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wondered if I'd live to feel my topical Yes We Kandinsky tattoo was dated ...well, only immediately. But I'll still fight you over it...
	12:09pm alanr: wow... this is quite exciting, being one of your listeners from earlier times... and its like many shows stitched together. This will make a lovely afternoon for me! Welcome back, Bethany.
	12:10pm arb: yeah, I'm stoched for this fill in
	12:10pm adamdoesit: me: Is that Gabriel Iranyi? Then turn it up, dude! Also, who is Iryani, this is good. arb, I, for one, am glad you went with the Kandinsky.
	12:11pm Robm: Hello fellow classical music fans
	12:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...actually I do feature a very small FMU Klee Pigeon tattoo ...but on a part I generally don't show to anyone...
	12:13pm Robm: Yes i am a classical music groupie
	12:14pm mic_a: So great to have you back for a visit! And such a generous time slot. It will be a valued archive indeed.
	12:17pm adamdoesit: “This project could go on and on.” <hums happy tune>
	12:18pm WR: Hello Hello!
	12:18pm Little Danny: Hell yeah, great to hear you again Bethany!
	12:19pm WM: I always thought you should have an extended show and now you've got one.
	12:19pm Robm: @Bethany are you going to do more shows on the drummer or other streams?
	12:21pm coelacanth∅: for the record, Bethany did have a 3-hour show for a few years. sunday nights if i remember correctly. RR probably remembers
	12:22pm Marshland: Great to have this show back, a real treat.
	12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I do not remember Bethany having three hours ! Makes more sense then a one hour CliffNotes version of this Genre - as marvelous as one's guide may be.
	12:25pm Bethany Ryker: Stochastic Hit Parade, the 3 hour version started on Tuesday mornings in September 2001, moved to Sunday nights in 2002 and went until about 2008. It was a great way to get my start at FMU! A440 was born out of that and has run intermittently from 2012 to current.
	12:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah. I was not yet an FMUvian.
	12:27pm Robm: @Coel will look it up then in the archives
	12:27pm coelacanth∅: right on Bethany. it was pre-internet for me but i called you at the station a few times!
	12:28pm Bethany Ryker: Some are fill-ins, but (holy cow) there are 651 shows in the archives. Two decades passes real fast in freeform time!
	12:29pm coelacanth∅: RR sorry. i don't know why i was thinking your fmu daze went back that far
	12:30pm adamdoesit: Leaning towards the speakers to listen closer to Dinescu. There is some great trombone over tense and shifting background stuff going on here.
	12:30pm Robm: @Bethany the archives are a real rabbit hole to go down at times:)
	12:30pm Bethany Ryker: (I really apologize if you are hearing the audio clipping I am hearing, still trouble shooting that)
	12:31pm chresti: Glad you have time to stretch out, Bethany!
	12:32pm WR: Listening on decent quality smart phone, haven't noticed clipping.
	12:32pm Doug Schulkind: Sounding OK on my end.
	12:32pm coelacanth∅: Bethany i liked the way you mixed together classical, jazz, occasional pop, and occasional "noise", if i'm not mistaken. a format you really would need a few hours to do right
	12:35pm Little Danny: Love this!
	12:35pm Robm: Okay with me bethany no clipping
	12:38pm Bethany Ryker: (thanks for feedback on sound, glad it's good on the receiving end!)
	12:44pm Doug Schulkind: "Correct" is overrated.
	12:52pm Brian in UK: Hello Bethany. Wonder what painter Egon Schiele's music would sound like.
	12:54pm Paul Hubert: Lovely to be with you from the UK - long may you run
	12:55pm Stork: @Brian: here‘s an album by the band Rachel‘s called Egon Schiele- Nice, unclassifiable chamber music.
	12:57pm Stork: Third Stream forevs!! Keep those Storkastic hits coming, Bethany!!
	1:00pm W Trenton Vinny: Yay!
	1:02pm adamdoesit: Kinda Lenny-like there. Jetsy.
	1:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Do often think of the relation of how the developments of Musics parallel the same for Visual Arts - especially of course by all the Modernisms. Not only for my own perceptions - but how the people who say they don't 'get' Jazz or Avant-garde sounds are probly the same people who say they don't 'get' Abstraction or dADa ~ Surrealism - Experssionism, Pop - what have you. Don't know how that holds up in the lab - but I appreciate this in any event...
	1:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yet not hard to see how Klee himself was into Bach for instance - in terms of elemental & almost mathematical / geometric joys ...Bach of course relatable to almost everyone (obviously Creatives) in all fields in all times...
	1:06pm Brian in UK: Thanks Stork.
	1:08pm Bethany Ryker: I agree with all of that - and then there's also the total curve breaker: personal likes and dislikes that fall outside of logic and reason. I get curious in those moments.
	1:10pm Little Danny: This is gorgeous
	1:12pm StringOFperils: People/artists, are often way ahead of the 'average Joe', in twin arenas of technique and theoretical understanding; often exploring the 'limits' of an establish artistic tradition, to find out perhaps where music isn't music, or to codify the threshold of acceptability as a means to point out something else about a society and the 'art' it manifests. What are its tastes? And furthermore, why?
	1:21pm Little Danny: Fascinating. Love hearing about these esoteric systems…
	1:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: SOP - exactly. I have sort of anthropological concepts of it all - that Artists go back to those Shamans in caves painting bulls on the wall & banging frame drums in weird costumes - probly with some very interesting plants involved. & our present society is kind of the technical exploded & more complicated view of this exponentially smaller & original population of humans. Shaman is a weird job - in that one has to be far enuff out from the tribe to have something unique in perspectives to offer it - yet must be the consummate communicator - & towards the greatest benefit of all as well. Re this - McKenna's Archaic Revival & the like...
	1:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& if the Arts are for providing whatever Balance is required to the rest of the Culture - then what really is the required Medicine ? Pure Idealism probly - but maybe even Nietzsche would grant us @ least that - @ least there.
	1:29pm WR: This audience might find this of interest. PaulRobeson1922 shared it yesterday on The Knave's program. www.nasa.gov... NASA has posted half a dozen audio clips of X-ray and other energy from celestial bodies where the wavelength of the energy was lowered to frequencies in the human hearing range.
	1:29pm WR: I'm going to lie down for a bit with headphones on.
	1:30pm StringOFperils: Shaman is a weird job indeed. And not for everybody. It's where science and art come from in the first place, and then the initial comforts delivered become entrenched, and then the shaman is subject to the big clampdown. Unless of course it's Banksy, who is wisely elusive.
	1:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fiorella Terenzi is one astronomer who has presented space data as music concrete ...an exception to All Music = World Music - maybe ! Blind people may explore astronomy thru sound ...@ these scales - it's not an egregious representation.
	1:32pm Listening Out There: It’s great to hear A440 on the interwebs again…
	1:33pm coelacanth∅: Thanks WR. bookmarked and very stoked to hear that!
	1:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Sonofication'
	1:34pm StringOFperils: AS much as I'm enjoying this (you're killin' it, Bethany!), I MUST go outside for a while on my bicycle or I'll go mad. Fortunately, this show goes long....so until later.....
	1:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Enjoy SOP.
	1:36pm Bethany Ryker: Enoy the day, SOP! Thanks for contributing to the UnSTORCHastic Hit Parade!
	1:40pm Doug Schulkind: That was wonderful. Made me want to revisit Fats Waller's incredible pipe organ pieces.
	1:43pm WM: I think this is the first time I ever heard Bach on WFMU.
	1:47pm adamdoesit: WM, right? It sounds so out there, in context. I kinda love it.
	1:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thinking also of a commentary made about Calder : That whereas many Moderns used the Circus to represent sinister things - Calder's interpretation was celebratory & playful. Klee may present something like what is seen under a microscope - but very much something like that too I think. Chagall & Ernst maybe a bit of that? ...An element of the Naïve or Primitive or Fauve I guess...
	2:00pm DL in LA: Bethany, great to hear you again! Are you enjoying this longer time slot to stretch out with some longer works?
	2:13pm Bethany Ryker: Rev, one perhaps random but interesting thing I came across was that another of John McCabe's pieces references Chagall. There's something there for sure --
	2:14pm Bethany Ryker: Hi DL, yes, this is tremendous fun! Mostly because it's an unusual and very welcome stretch of uninterrupted listening for me!
	2:15pm Dean: John Zorn's Angelus Novus approaches Klee via Walter Benjamin. Quite a stew there.
	2:48pm Marie: What a great show idea/theme! Just tuning in now. I'll have to listen to the archive. Nice to see/hear you on the air again, Bethany!
	2:50pm Bethany Ryker: @Dean, another great one to add to the fold! Welcome, Marie! Great to have you here.
	2:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: How neat-o to have the pieces & the corresponding paintings right here.
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: you need to have a regular and longer show, regularly Bethany. if you don't want to or cannot do a weekly show, maybe a 3 or 4-hour show once/month?
	2:58pm doctorjazz: Hi Bethany and listeners!
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: yeah i was wondering if the coughing and shuffling was supposed to be in there! so constant hey dr.j
	3:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it took several takes to get the right expression in the cough...
	3:03pm coelacanth∅: (subtitled "hot peppers burning in the kitchen") ha RR
	3:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the Cough program @ Julliard was barely in its infancy...
	3:05pm doctorjazz: Cough Drop Deficiency, those damn supply chains, even then...
	3:08pm coelacanth∅: cough dropped in the left channel, and the right, but they couldn't get the wheeze overdub right
	3:10pm WM: Bethany, are you at all interested in Luigi Russolo? He was an Italian Futurist painter and musician who wrote the Futurist manifesto on music The Art of Noise. He invented the Intonarumori, a noise/music instrument that sounded like an air raid siren. There is a very interesting book about him Luigi Russolo, Futurist: Noise, Visual Arts, and Occult by Luciano Chessa. Seems that he fits the theme of your show.
	3:11pm WM: P.S. I'm glad you are playing Matthew Shipp.
	3:31pm doctorjazz: Lovely set!
	3:40pm DL in LA: Loved that twist on your traditional bed music for set breaks!
	3:50pm DL in LA: Thanks for uploading the cover art and other Klee and Klee-related images! Enjoying it.
	3:53pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Bethany!
	3:54pm adamdoesit: Bethany, your fill-in has been a blast of fresh air on a hot summer day. I hope to hear you again on the Drummer Stream soon. If you've had as good a time presenting the show as I've had listening to it, I'm sure I will.
	3:55pm WM: Come back soon, Bethany.
	3:56pm WR: Another time? Yay!
	3:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ BR ~ Be informed we are expecting an Encore sooner than later.
	3:57pm chresti: Thanks Bethany!
	3:57pm coelacanth∅: Thank you Bethany!
	3:57pm Jason D: Thanks, Bethany, obviously love the shortform A440 but these extra hours were a treat!
	4:00pm spodiodi: thank you, Bethany!
	4:00pm W Trenton Vinny: so great!
	4:15pm Brian in UK: Abstract art is all in the mind. Unlike Portraiture or Landscape which have points of reference. Do that make any sense?
	1:23pm TDK60: Bethany. I missed your fill-in, but will listen to it very soon, in one of these days in the Future! ...
	11:47pm 21: Thanks Bethany

	1:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yet not hard to see how Klee himself was into Bach for instance - in terms of elemental & almost mathematical / geometric joys ...Bach of course relatable to almost everyone (obviously Creatives) in all fields in all times...
	1:06pm Brian in UK: Thanks Stork.
	1:08pm Bethany Ryker: I agree with all of that - and then there's also the total curve breaker: personal likes and dislikes that fall outside of logic and reason. I get curious in those moments.
	1:10pm Little Danny: This is gorgeous
	1:12pm StringOFperils: People/artists, are often way ahead of the 'average Joe', in twin arenas of technique and theoretical understanding; often exploring the 'limits' of an establish artistic tradition, to find out perhaps where music isn't music, or to codify the threshold of acceptability as a means to point out something else about a society and the 'art' it manifests. What are its tastes? And furthermore, why?
	1:21pm Little Danny: Fascinating. Love hearing about these esoteric systems…
	1:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: SOP - exactly. I have sort of anthropological concepts of it all - that Artists go back to those Shamans in caves painting bulls on the wall & banging frame drums in weird costumes - probly with some very interesting plants involved. & our present society is kind of the technical exploded & more complicated view of this exponentially smaller & original population of humans. Shaman is a weird job - in that one has to be far enuff out from the tribe to have something unique in perspectives to offer it - yet must be the consummate communicator - & towards the greatest benefit of all as well. Re this - McKenna's Archaic Revival & the like...
	1:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& if the Arts are for providing whatever Balance is required to the rest of the Culture - then what really is the required Medicine ? Pure Idealism probly - but maybe even Nietzsche would grant us @ least that - @ least there.
	1:29pm WR: This audience might find this of interest. PaulRobeson1922 shared it yesterday on The Knave's program. www.nasa.gov... NASA has posted half a dozen audio clips of X-ray and other energy from celestial bodies where the wavelength of the energy was lowered to frequencies in the human hearing range.
	1:29pm WR: I'm going to lie down for a bit with headphones on.
	1:30pm StringOFperils: Shaman is a weird job indeed. And not for everybody. It's where science and art come from in the first place, and then the initial comforts delivered become entrenched, and then the shaman is subject to the big clampdown. Unless of course it's Banksy, who is wisely elusive.
	1:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fiorella Terenzi is one astronomer who has presented space data as music concrete ...an exception to All Music = World Music - maybe ! Blind people may explore astronomy thru sound ...@ these scales - it's not an egregious representation.
	1:32pm Listening Out There: It’s great to hear A440 on the interwebs again…
	1:33pm coelacanth∅: Thanks WR. bookmarked and very stoked to hear that!
	1:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Sonofication'
	1:34pm StringOFperils: AS much as I'm enjoying this (you're killin' it, Bethany!), I MUST go outside for a while on my bicycle or I'll go mad. Fortunately, this show goes long....so until later.....
	1:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Enjoy SOP.
	1:36pm Bethany Ryker: Enoy the day, SOP! Thanks for contributing to the UnSTORCHastic Hit Parade!
	1:40pm Doug Schulkind: That was wonderful. Made me want to revisit Fats Waller's incredible pipe organ pieces.
	1:43pm WM: I think this is the first time I ever heard Bach on WFMU.
	1:47pm adamdoesit: WM, right? It sounds so out there, in context. I kinda love it.
	1:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thinking also of a commentary made about Calder : That whereas many Moderns used the Circus to represent sinister things - Calder's interpretation was celebratory & playful. Klee may present something like what is seen under a microscope - but very much something like that too I think. Chagall & Ernst maybe a bit of that? ...An element of the Naïve or Primitive or Fauve I guess...
	2:00pm DL in LA: Bethany, great to hear you again! Are you enjoying this longer time slot to stretch out with some longer works?
	2:13pm Bethany Ryker: Rev, one perhaps random but interesting thing I came across was that another of John McCabe's pieces references Chagall. There's something there for sure --
	2:14pm Bethany Ryker: Hi DL, yes, this is tremendous fun! Mostly because it's an unusual and very welcome stretch of uninterrupted listening for me!
	2:15pm Dean: John Zorn's Angelus Novus approaches Klee via Walter Benjamin. Quite a stew there.
	2:48pm Marie: What a great show idea/theme! Just tuning in now. I'll have to listen to the archive. Nice to see/hear you on the air again, Bethany!
	2:50pm Bethany Ryker: @Dean, another great one to add to the fold! Welcome, Marie! Great to have you here.
	2:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: How neat-o to have the pieces & the corresponding paintings right here.
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: you need to have a regular and longer show, regularly Bethany. if you don't want to or cannot do a weekly show, maybe a 3 or 4-hour show once/month?
	2:58pm doctorjazz: Hi Bethany and listeners!
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: yeah i was wondering if the coughing and shuffling was supposed to be in there! so constant hey dr.j
	3:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it took several takes to get the right expression in the cough...
	3:03pm coelacanth∅: (subtitled "hot peppers burning in the kitchen") ha RR
	3:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the Cough program @ Julliard was barely in its infancy...
	3:05pm doctorjazz: Cough Drop Deficiency, those damn supply chains, even then...
	3:08pm coelacanth∅: cough dropped in the left channel, and the right, but they couldn't get the wheeze overdub right
	3:10pm WM: Bethany, are you at all interested in Luigi Russolo? He was an Italian Futurist painter and musician who wrote the Futurist manifesto on music The Art of Noise. He invented the Intonarumori, a noise/music instrument that sounded like an air raid siren. There is a very interesting book about him Luigi Russolo, Futurist: Noise, Visual Arts, and Occult by Luciano Chessa. Seems that he fits the theme of your show.
	3:11pm WM: P.S. I'm glad you are playing Matthew Shipp.
	3:31pm doctorjazz: Lovely set!
	3:40pm DL in LA: Loved that twist on your traditional bed music for set breaks!
	3:50pm DL in LA: Thanks for uploading the cover art and other Klee and Klee-related images! Enjoying it.
	3:53pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Bethany!
	3:54pm adamdoesit: Bethany, your fill-in has been a blast of fresh air on a hot summer day. I hope to hear you again on the Drummer Stream soon. If you've had as good a time presenting the show as I've had listening to it, I'm sure I will.
	3:55pm WM: Come back soon, Bethany.
	3:56pm WR: Another time? Yay!
	3:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ BR ~ Be informed we are expecting an Encore sooner than later.
	3:57pm chresti: Thanks Bethany!
	3:57pm coelacanth∅: Thank you Bethany!
	3:57pm Jason D: Thanks, Bethany, obviously love the shortform A440 but these extra hours were a treat!
	4:00pm spodiodi: thank you, Bethany!
	4:00pm W Trenton Vinny: so great!
	4:15pm Brian in UK: Abstract art is all in the mind. Unlike Portraiture or Landscape which have points of reference. Do that make any sense?
	1:23pm TDK60: Bethany. I missed your fill-in, but will listen to it very soon, in one of these days in the Future! ...
	11:47pm 21: Thanks Bethany
